Are you seriously saying that people only have a right to complain about the content on their game consoles if they are actively making games? That's ridiculous.
He's a journalist and a consumer. It's not his responsibility to make the content for the game systems he spent a collective $1,0000+ on. He spent his hard earned money on consoles he was promised great, next gen games for, and if he feels that console makers and developers haven't delivered on their promises, he has every right to complaint.
By the way, not only was the video decently written and cut, it's also completely right. If you look at the first year of the Xbox 360's or PS3's life spans, and compare them to the games we got since the Xbox One and PS4 came out to now, the content has been PATHETIC. Between these two systems there hasn't been a single next-gen exclusive killer app. The games are certainly coming, but unless we have a blockbuster E3 this year it'll still be at a trickle.

I don't believe that's what he said, and after re-reading it, that's not what he said at all. He said if you have ideas on next-gen gameplay, why are you complaining when you could be banking royally, and actually doing something for the industry, other than complaining. I'd be willing to bet about 99% of the people who bitch about 'next-gen gameplay', literally only have that phrase, as their concept for what they want to see. It's a pipe dream, a buzz word used by people who can't frame their complaint in a more constructive manner.

Which is a ridiculous thing to say to a journalist, whose primary jobs are to report AND comment on the industry. It's not his job to come up with the ideas, nor make the games. Might it have been a better video had he gone in-depth in establishing what he's looking for in a next-gen game? Perhaps. But that doesn't make his complaint any less valid.
